> Currently, the COSWriter determines whether or not to use encryption, which
> makes sense, however there's no way to tell it you don't want to use
> encryption. So if you open an encrypted document, there's no way to write
> out an unencrypted document (you can write out a document without a password,
> but it'll still be encrypted). This means that encrypted documents can't be
> merged even if the password is known.
> I have a patch which will allow writing out unencrypted documents. By
> default it'll work as it did before, but there's a new function which can be
> called to mark the document to be written out with no protection. I'll
> upload the patch soon.
